I wouldn't say Bootstrap is "glued" with web2py. web2py comes with an 
optional scaffolding application that includes a front end, and that front 
end happens to be based on Bootstrap. The front end has to be based on 
*something* -- if we choose Semantic, then folks will ask why not 
Bootstrap? Given the popularity and prevalence of Bootstrap, it isn't a bad 
choice.

More generally, I would argue that the choice of front end framework for 
the scaffolding app is not *that *important. The fact is, if you want to 
make any significant customizations to the look and feel of the UI, it 
isn't much harder to start completely from scratch with some template based 
on another framework than it is to try to alter the existing app (most of 
the work is in customizing layout.html and developing form and grid 
styles). On the other hand, if you don't want any significant 
customization, then it shouldn't much matter what framework is used, as 
long as the end result looks decent and is usable.
